Selecting the Age Group:
Choosing the right age group is crucial. Alex decides on the 9–11 category but feels the need for a deeper understanding of this age group’s capabilities. He turns to the Morphoses wiki, where a wealth of information on developmental psychology awaits, offering Alex valuable insights into tailoring the activity perfectly for this age group.

Embracing Multilingualism:
Alex wants the activity to reach a wider audience and selects English and Greek. This choice reflects Morphoses’ commitment to inclusivity and global reach. Firstly, he has to complete the following fields in the first language, and then in the other languages he has chosen.
Crafting the Title:
“Teamwork Towers” — a title that instantly captures the essence of the activity. It’s catchy, relevant, and promises an engaging experience.
Fine-Tuning the Experience:
Alex meticulously chooses the difficulty, cues, duration, and prerequisite activities. Each decision is made thoughtfully, considering the impact on the learning experience. He now has to move to the next step, actually putting content into the activity! He feels relieve since he got a message that he can change the options he just chose, even after proceeding.
